There is an old, I mean OLD garage on our property that is falling apart. Off the side of the garage is a tiny little room that looks like an outhouse, but it turns out it was an old play room for the lady who grew up here. It looks like it hasn't been touched in over 40 years. There are still old, OLD toys in there.

An old newspaper in the basement of our house. There are TONS of papers from the 40s down there! Along with old Mad Magazines.

Oh Amanda, this place is like heaven on earth (for people like us). The hidden marvels in the old garage, the blooming camellias, the swing- the whole thing sounds absolutely magical. You are going to have such an adventure learning the place, photographing every new season, collecting that citrus- what a joy. LOVE these photos! Does the old place have a name? If not, it definitely deserves one.

that swing looks awesome! hopefully we can figure out a time to hang out soon! it looks like you guys are totally enjoying your new dream house! it has so much history and looks so cool!! talk to you soon!!
